The Olympics of Grace (Italian: Olimpiadi della Grazia) was an early international multi-sport event for women[2] that was held from 29–31 May 1931 in Florence, Italy.

[4] The Grand Council of Fascism in Italy was partly encouraging of the movement but stated that, regardless of sporting prowess, motherhood was a woman's most important role.

[6] Still, reflecting the social background of emphasising femininity over pure athleticism for women,[7] the 1931 sporting event was designated the Olympics of Grace.

International promotional material around the event stressed it "will be devoted not to contests of speed, strength or skill, but to exhibitions of gymnastic grace".

[11][12] In addition to the track and field events, a dancing competition was held and the winner's cup was presented to a troupe of German dancers under the tutelage of Mary Wigman, one of the originators of modern expressionist dance.
